AI SOW Generator — statement of work drafts that lock the scope before kickoff
Use Gixo when a services engagement needs a SOW first draft shaped by deliverables, acceptance criteria, milestones, pricing, and a clean reference back to the master agreement before counsel review and signature.
An AI SOW generator drafts a statement of work with deliverables, acceptance criteria, milestones, dependencies, and a pricing model. Gixo prompts for the governing master-agreement reference and prepares a separate SOW draft with a deliverables matrix, change-order structure, review state, and export. It does not automatically link documents or validate inherited terms; qualified reviewers confirm every cross-document relationship.
What does a useful AI-generated statement of work draft need?
The job is not to ask AI for a legal answer. The job is to prepare a draft or artifact that a qualified reviewer can actually work with.
Capture deliverables with acceptance criteria, owner, dependency, and review path so the SOW reads as an execution document, not a wish list.
Bring milestone dates, dependencies, contingency reserves, and acceptance windows into the draft instead of retrofitting them after kickoff.
Time-and-materials, fixed-fee, milestone-based, retainer, or hybrid — capture the right pricing structure with rate cards, caps, and overage handling.
Capture the master-agreement reference and intended relationship. Reviewers verify IP, confidentiality, liability, and warranty terms against the signed MSA.
Define the change-order trigger, the approval path, the fee impact, and the timeline impact before scope shifts during execution.
After the first draft, Lex can run a deterministic contract review: clause coverage against a versioned playbook, clause-conflict detection, and defined-term and cross-reference checks. Findings, tracked-change DOCX redlines, comments, review state, assignees, due dates, and version history all stay attached to the same document. Reviewers still verify every clause and conclusion.
How does AI SOW drafting work?
Define the services, the duration, the team, the location, and the business outcome the engagement is buying.
Define each deliverable with the criteria that decide done, the owner, and the dependencies blocking it.
Add the governing MSA context, then verify the contractual framework, IP terms, and confidentiality scope against the signed agreement.
Review with project leads and counsel inside the workspace, then export in PDF, DOCX, HTML, and TXT for signature.
